Aquatic & Riparian Habitat Restoration

Integrated Resource Management offers a variety of  habitat restoration services to protect, restore and enhance degraded aquatic and riparian habitats. With over two decades of experience the IRM team provides innovative, efficient and environmental conscious approaches to aquatic restoration using specialized equipment and techniques to protect these delicate ecosystems.

Our dedication to this effort is demonstrated through the completion of dozens of aquatic restoration projects and our participation with numerous aquatic habitat partnerships. IRM can work closely with a variety of landowners to design, develop and implement Restoration Plans and prescriptions for several aquatic and riparian habitat types including:

  • Wetlands and ponds;
  • Estuaries and marshes; and
  • Riparian and streamsides

Noxious weeds pose a huge threat to the health of aquatic and riparian native habitats. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices such as hand removal, mechanical removal, herbicide application, bio-controls, fire and dense native planting.

Due to the delicate nature of our PNW ecosystems and the realities of twenty-first century habitat management, IRM provides our clients with a full range of IPM services to meet the needs of the habitat and the customer.
